While they didn't rip you off per se, it is bad form to replace one product with another. They should inform you of whats actually available. Where I disagree is you calling this bait and switch.
" Bait-and-switch is a form of fraud, most commonly used in retail sales but also applicable to other contexts. First, customers are "baited" by advertising for a product or service at a low price; second, the customers discover that the advertised good is not available and are "switched" to a costlier product. "
Were you coming in on advertising on one product and then switched to a costlier product? If they were substituting one product for another at the same price, then its not bait and switch by the definition. If it were, you could go after them for fraud.
